Dark teas
Tea from China - Pu-erh Orchid Sheng Cha 2012- Cake 357G
Historically, the name Pu Erh dark teas originates from the eponymous village located on the Silk Road, southern Yunnan, region where tea business was once concentrated. The success worldwide of these dark teas among the amateurs prompted the Chinese government to define in 2003 the designation "Pu Erh" in order to protect the originality of these teas. Pu-Erh tea cakes have the specificity to become better if kept properly. For storage put the tea cake in a non-sunlight, dry, odour-free environment. Harvested South-West of Yunnan Province, at 1800 m altitude, among high mountains and dense forests, the persistent and covering mist creates an exceptionnal tea environement typical of Cang Yuan County, Lin Cang. There, is found the Yunnan broad-leaved tea cultivar named Xiang Gui Yin Hao. This tea was harvested in spring 2012, in the heart of a valley covered with wild orchids which transmit their scent to the tea plants. Its infusion delivers a sweet taste with orchid aroma.

KNOW-HOW & QUALITY
Loose teas and infusions
All our teas and the plants used in infusions are selected through the seasons by our buyers, directly from our producers. All products are chosen for both their visual appearance and their organoleptic qualities. Compliance tests are then commissioned from a COFRAC-accredited external, independent laboratory before any orders are placed.
Once received, batches are placed in quarantine while we carry out two more tests. The first is an organoleptic test completed by our specialists (taste, smell and visual). The second comprises a series of analyses at a COFRAC.-accredited, independent, external lab.
At our factory, we have developed special optical sorting and dusting equipment for our raw ingredients. Delicate items are sorted by hand.
Our teas and infusions are unique recipes available loose, boxed and in sachets. The loose leaf format is the most environmentally friendly choice.
